GO metricUSA
is an organization dedicating to promoting the adoption of the
metric system in the United States of America.
This is the home for
METRIC
STANDARDS for Worldwide Manufacturing, the leading metric
reference book since it was first published by Industrial Press in
1978.

You
have free access to four chapters in the Metric Standards Book
linked above.The
material presented in the publication is carefully edited since it
has been tested for more than 30 years and gone through seven
editions. The free material is our contribution to promote the use
of the metric system here in the
USA.In order to meet our goals listed on the Aboutpage, we need your help and support.

We live in a metric world, and numerous areas around us are
already metric. How metric products are successfully sold on the
global market are proven by industry groups such as: Wine and
Liquor, Soft Drinks and Water, Pharmaceuticals, Vitamins,
Automobiles, etc. A “fifth” gallon is now 750 mL (milliliters), and
the Kentucky whisky and California wine industries are doing great on
the global market.

We should learn
from the successful transition done by the Wine and Liquor
industries, and start to package products such as: sugar, flour,
butter, etc. in 500 g (gram) packages rather than the customary
pound (454 g) bags. The old ladies in
Germany
today go into the grocery store and ask for a pound of butter and
get of course the standard 500 g wrapping. We could now market a lot
of those food items on a global scale. You have a hard time to sell
products in pound bags outside the USA.
